this Plan is the effect of the somewhat higher levels of congestion on the choice to use other modes of travel. This effect is reflected in the forecast travel volumes that were reviewed in the EIS. For this Plan, congestion will be represented as the percent of local arterial mileage that exceeds generalized capacity in each of the planning subareas as shown in Table 5.

This congestion shown in Table 5 remains on the system after planned improvements are assumed to be in place. In the case of larger projects, such as regional rapid rail, the facility will not have been in operation long enough (or will not have become fully operational) prior to 2012. Any effect it might have on congestion would therefore be seen in later years. Objective # 3: Principles, Commitments and Policies Overall Objective: Establish a standard of performance for the transportation system that is consistent lith both the short and long-term land use vision of the City and recognizes the congested conditions that Hill remain after affordable improvements are put into place. Planning Principles and Commitments: (1) Everett accepts the rate of growth in travel demand that is consistent with a change in its planning decisions to support mixed-use centers and a more pedestrian/transit oriented community 191 T-26
